This Week in the New Normal #62
Our successor to This Week in the Guardian, This Week in the New Normal is our weekly chart of the progress of autocracy, authoritarianism and economic restructuring around the world.
1. Ireland’s attack on Free speech
Last November the Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill was presented to the Irish Oireachtas. Among other things, the bill was written…
to provide for an offence of condoning, denying or grossly trivialising genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes against peace
Other offences under the act would include [emphasis added]:
possessing material likely to incite violence or hatred against persons on account of their protected characteristics
“Denying or trivialising” and “likely to incite hatred” are the phrases which should give everyone pause there. Dangerously vague political language.
Further, if you do possess material “likely to incite hatred”, you will have to prove you didn’t intend it for that purpose, or be assumed guilty.
In any proceedings for an offence under this section, where it is proved that the accused person was in possession of material such as is referred to in subsection (1) and it is reasonable to assume that the material was not intended for the personal use of the person, the person shall be presumed, until the contrary is proved, to have been in possession of the material in contravention of subsection (1).
Overthrowing the presumption of innocence which is the bedrock of any fair justice system.
The reason this bill is freshly in the news is that, this past week, Irish MPs introduced an amendment to include the protection of free speech guaranteed in the UN’s Convention of Human Rights. This amendment was voted down, there will be no protection of free speech in the bill.
2. Looting for a purpose?
Some of you may have been following the recent trending topics on social media: shoplifting. Either individually or in groups, stores across the US such as Walmart or Target are being robbed, and the footage shared on Twitter.
I’ve been wondering where exactly that was going – but now it may have become clear. This is a video of a Target store in San Francisco:

…all the goods put inside locked cabinets. And Target have said they will be increasing the number of stores doing this. Where does it go from there? Well, obviously, an app on your phone or a chip in your hand that is required to open them, of course. They won’t “force” you (see below), but the only alternative will be asking a member of staff to walk the store with you and open the cabinets one at a time…and who would ever do that?
3. Drink a beer and swear we’re faithful to the king
I know most of you planning on watching the coronation next weekend, probably under some waterproofed Union Jack bunting at your local street party, whilst eating cake shaped like a corgi.
These are all perfectly normal things that functioning adults would do, and not at all a forced and rather creepy exercise in trying to create a “national spirit”.
Anyway, while you’re watching with rapt attention, noshing on that corgi cake, do remember to swear an oath of allegiance to the king when instructed to do so.
Yes, at some point during the ceremony, viewers at home will be encouraged to repeat these words…
I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law – so help me God.”
Which, of course, we’ll all be doing. Naturally. Honest. (And kudos to any child of the 80s or 90s who picked up the rather obscure reference in the headline).
BONUS: Historical revisionism of the week
In what is bound to be news to many Canadians, your Prime Minister this week claimed he never forced people to get the covid “vaccines”. Speaking at a panel at the University of Ottawa, Trudeau claimed:
while not forcing anyone to get vaccinated, I chose to make sure that all the incentives and all of the protections were there to encourage Canadians to get vaccinated. And that’s exactly what they did.”
Hmmmm…

Yeah.
It’s not all bad…
The “good news” this week takes the form of a poem posted into our comments, which we loved:
You’re like a scorpion, my brother,
you live in cowardly darkness like a scorpion.
You’re like a sparrow, my brother, always in a sparrow’s flutter.
You’re like a clam, my brother, closed like a clam, content,
And you’re frightening, my brother, like the mouth of an extinct volcano.
Not one, not five– unfortunately, you number millions.
You’re like a sheep, my brother: when the cloaked drover raises his stick,
you quickly join the flock and run, almost proudly, to the slaughterhouse.
I mean you’re strangest creature on earth–
even stranger than the fish that couldn’t see the ocean for the water.
And the oppression in this world is thanks to you.
And if we’re hungry, tired, covered with blood, and still being crushed like grapes for our wine, the fault is yours–
I can hardly bring myself to say it,
but most of the fault, my dear brother, is yours.

Or if you’re in the mood for a laugh, there’s this, which we saw for the first time this week. It’s not topical, from 1991, but it’s hilarious.

All told a pretty hectic week for the new normal crowd, and we didn’t even mention Australian arm chips or “new research” saying eating insect chitin is good for your intestinal health.
There’s a lot of change in the air, a lot of agendas in the works, if you see a headline, article, post or interview you think is a sign of the times, post it in the comments, email us or share it on social media and we will add it to the next edition.

In this case, no one would be allowed to deny numerous USA/ NATO genocides (without being punished). 3M in Vietnam (mostly civilians), 1M in Iraq (mostly civilians, etc.
I wanted to deny and minimise the Palestinian genocide, but I suppose I won’t be able to now.
Summarizing: How to create problems where there aren’t any…
Anent 1, Ireland’s really going off the deep end. ICCPR Article 20, with which Irish law at all levels must come into conformity, defines hate speech as advocacy of violence, hostility, or discrimination. The circular definition of hate speech as hate is a huge gift to Zionazis and state warmongers. And extending hate to factual questions about state crime is an ennabling act for censorship.
The evident legislative intent to derogate human rights law breaches continuity of obligations. Even if Ireland were to collapse and reconstitute itself, Articles 19 and 20 would apply. Any sane restriction on hate speech has to recognize that the state is the biggest and most dangerous source of organized hate.

Lets hope China have sent us enough plastic flags for the mindless, moronic British public to wave. What sort of twat would even think of wanting to watch this shit of a bunch of freaks in fancy dress. FFS!!! What sort of god, if one existed, would want any sort of oath to a total fucktard like this?? Defender of the faiths? They cannot all be right, so which one is it going to be?
The devil would want it.
God? He is there for those who seek him, but not for freaks and fucktards
My freedom for a cookie!!!

That lycra stretching each way free,
Tumescence overtaketh me!

Great news! Is this where they will prosecute the climate deniers and lock them up? (And hopefully followed by those extreme right wing virus deniers).
Funny. Keep looking up. Eventually something will fall. Most likely bird shit. Then you will be vindicated. As long as you have a mask on, you should be fine but not if it’s an eagle a heron or some other larger bird.
You do know, don’t you, that it has actually been proposed that climate deniers ought to be locked up.
I can’t recall offhand who it was that made the proposal (was it RFK Jr?). Anyway, even though I accept that there’s a climate problem, I take a strong stand against such tyrannical proposals.
The PBS show NOVA aired a program titled Chasing Carbon Zero a few days ago. Quite depressing and I am sure that those that have swallowed the blue pill were ready to off themselves after having watched it.
All that methane and Carbon gas. What is one to do? No mention of the fact that 90% of greenhouse gas is composed of water vapor. Nor did they mention the benefits of Carbon. Such as accelerated photosynthesis leading to increased Oxygen and glucose (food) production.
Lie after lie after lie. So many assumptions without proof of anything to justify their actions.
Confident engineers spewing nonsense based on unproven propaganda facts. Such as: More frequent and more violent storms. Completely made up.
Nothing about the justification behind the panic: No citing of studies to back up their claims. Just assuming that we are accelerating climate change and we need to stop it and this is how. Total nonsense.
Entrepreneurs talking up the fact that green energy installations are “free” when in fact they are being paid with tax dollars. Our tax dollars. Taken from a trillion dollar deficit that is increasing the debt above 33 trillions dollars that is causing the bankruptcy of our country with the failure of the banking system.
Showing images of a nearly spent oil field (dramatically desolate, I might add) while implying that oil and gas is running out soon and that we will eventually have to implement this renewable energy anyway.
Then there they were. The most idiotic movement (as in bowels) in the history of mankind: Solar panels on arable land. I could have sworn someone said there was going to be a food shortage. Such dumbfucks.
Wind turbines smack dab in the middle of migratory bird flyways. The very winds that push birds along are being polluted by these turbines. Without the winds the birds can’t make it. Without the winds the turbines can’t turn enough. The birds migrate in the dark in huge flocks and when they enter a turbine field they die by the thousands. Kind of like a symbiotic relationship of sorts. Dead birds being scavenged in a brand new niche. A whole new community type! Maybe I can coin the name: The Turbine Death Zone.
Meanwhile, besides the lie about rising seas, more frequent and violent storms, nothing was said about what’s going to actually happen in 2,4,6,8, or 10 years or whatever time frame they come up with. As long as we reduce our net Carbon to 50% by 2030 and zero by 2050 we will be OK (just ignore the 2,4,6,8,10 year end of the world fear porn we have been screaming for decades. That was just our way of scaring you into doing what we want). But you never know, the earth may die in as soon as 1 or 2 years give or take a few billions years. The operative idea is “no one knows” and it’s all bullshit.
The take away message: Something IS going to happen because someone we never met said so but we are not really sure what it is that will happen but it’s going to happen and when it does it will be really really bad and you better follow our orders so you don’t die when it happens because someone else who we don’t know said it will.
PBS may as well be a department of the United Nations.
Most already know how I feel about the United Nations. They need to be defunded and disbanded because they are the cause of all of our problems. Once they are gone most of our problems will go away.
“The UN is but one symptom of the problem. The problem still remains Corporate Fascism.”
Corporate Fascism is using the UN. Their vehicle will break down and crash once the UN is gone.
Certain atmospheric occurrences – mostly because of geoengineering and spraying – are making photosynthesis all but impossible.
The ozone layer is rapidly being destroyed, which allows UVC rays to filter down to the ground; which in turn slowly destroys trees and soil microbes; which makes nutrient uptake all but impossible; which also traps far more heat than it supposedly blocks; which in some locales causes trees/plants to actually shut down their stomata because of the excessive heat; which keeps them from absorbing CO2; which therefore prevents them from producing oxygen.
Plus, plankton – the other primary source of oxygen – are being killed because of the warming oceans, which have absorbed the excess CO2 (a cubic meter of water can hold 4000 times more carbon than a cubic meter of air); and rapidly replaced by algae.
What’s happening is part of a complex feedback loop.
Lakes, seas and oceans generate ~70% of oxygen. 20% comes from phytoplankton, and the rest from other marine plants and algae.
Sighing…………
Where does one start? I wrote a point by point response the other day and decided against posting it. Sources. Links. Proof. Please. My source is the most reputable ecological research center in the world (Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee). Google Scholar it.
Oak Ridge scientists have been studying the fate of added atmospheric gasses for decades and now they are being ignored because their data goes against the narrative.
Maybe in a laboratory somewhere, some of what you describe is occurring. It is preposterous to project that it is happening world wide.
The simple concept that warmer water holds less dissolved gas conflicts with one of your statements.
Another obvious problem is the statement about stomates which are only found in higher plants and not algae.
Warmer water is not killing algae. Plus the changes in temperature are so minute. They would die in a boiling pot of hot water, I guess. Warmer water actually increases algae growth rates.
Eutrophication is a problem which can lead to algae blooms resulting in red tides and botulism issues. Red tide happens in the Gulf of Mexico relatively frequently because you have a shallow low volume body of water. Alabama University’s mascot Crimson Tide started being used about 1907. Climate screamers are blaming the recent red tides in the Gulf on, of course, climate change. Lake Michigan has been experiencing botulism caused bird kills from the seasonal decay of Cladophora (an alga) which is flourishing because of zebra mussels (an invasive species) clarifying the water and allowing light to penetrate deeper than normal which promotes abnormally fast algae growth which eventually dies and decays. Then there is Lake Eerie…..still a shallow polluted cesspool.
Acid rain……………
These are pollution problems.
Complex feedback loops?
Respectfully…….
Give. Me. A. Break.
Not to be outdone, 60 Minutes was touting a new engineering ‘marvel’ designed to suck CO2 out the air last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCP8P4VMLF4
Good-bye, terrestrial vegetation!
I read that too. The idiocy leaves you speechless.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/04/28/net-zero-britain-will-be-unable-to-keep-the-lights-on-mps-w/
One might say that’s the point of net zero….
However one might also consider that last winter was widely anticipated in alt circles to bring power cuts – but it didn’t. Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals No.9 is about the power of threats versus actualities. It might also be worth considering what Jasun Horsley calls “the second matrix” i.e. an alt world just as constructed of fears as the first matrix.
Some sensible precautions without becoming a bunker-dwelling prepper is probably the way to go. The elite have to live in this world too and won’t want to live in literal darkness for hours. It’s the same problem I have with alt claims about chem trails and 5G – how would the elite avoid the toxicity themselves?
Noam Chomsky Named in Epstein’s Private Calendar, another one to file under ‘no s*it’
https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/cia-director-noam-chomsky-epstein-calendar-1234726393/
“What this tend to show is that MIT still calls the shots with Chomsky, even in retirement. Face it he is corporate fascist hack, a shill, a toady, a lackey, a gutless flunky.”
“What type of anarcho syndicalist tells others to obey the diktats of the Corporate Fascist State and take the Cull Juice or be thrown into a concentration camp?”
He used to have guts.
But they came for him.
Oh dear. I get the feeling the Coronation doesn’t quite fit the ‘New Normal’ narrative.
What do you mean by that?
Surely it’s just perfect…?
For the last couple of decades, Ireland has been subsidised (a.k.a. bribed) via the corporation tax system. As a consequence, it now has little option but to do whatever its told by the globalists. Moreover, its economy will implode if the US acts to block the tax avoidance schemes – and this is likely to happen when Trump wins in 2024.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_tax_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland
Ireland’s Corporate Tax System is a central component of Ireland’s economy. In 2016–17, foreign firms paid 80% of Irish corporate tax, employed 25% of the Irish labour force (paid 50% of Irish salary tax), and created 57% of Irish OECD non-farm value-add. As of 2017, 25 of the top 50 Irish firms were U.S.–controlled businesses, representing 70% of the revenue of the top 50 Irish firms. By 2018, Ireland had received the most U.S. § Corporate tax inversions in history, and Apple was over one–fifth of Irish GDP. Academics rank Ireland as the largest tax haven; larger than the Caribbean tax haven system.
The most serious threat to Ireland’s CT system, and Ireland’s economic model came in December 2017 with the passing of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) by the Trump administration.
“I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law – so help me God.”
Dear your own majesty: See this middle finger? It’s my personal pledge of allegiance to the almighty god herself… You might even like her if you met her…
Brilliant yt on where the capital in-flight to Ukraine is really going, not covered by the ‘media’
Remember when this alternative media was constantly shilling GBNEWS# (shilbe news)
Check this out for king shilling at its finest.
GB news NANA AKUA: Why I’m thrilled by the invitation to pledge my ‘true allegiance’ to King Charles III
I am thrilled by the invitation to take the oath because the opportunity to pledge my ‘true allegiance’ to the King is a unique chance to take part in this historic occasion in a very personal way.
I can’t wait for Saturday, not least because I will be broadcasting live from Buckingham Palace for GB News in the afternoon. But I know that if I was at home, I’d be equally excited to stand in front of the TV and recite the words – from the heart, with my arms around my children.
This isn’t like taking the knee, or any other empty, here-today-gone-tomorrow gesture beloved of the virtue-signalling wokerati. Most of us roll our eyes at that sort of thing. (wft but pledging your ‘true allegiance to some fanstasy king isnt woke..? LOL)
This is the Crown renewing its commitment to the British people and I’m delighted to return the favour in any small and humble way I can.
Q: what happened OFFG you no longer in bed with GBnews or Neil Oliver.?
I know I piss off Off-G readers with my constant harping on about phony “Left” sites – but these sites are so funny. Look:
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/05/01/enkq-m01.html
“The CDC will end “community level” COVID tracking with the end of the public health emergency
….
The “community level” tracking had been adopted last February 2022, on the wake of the massive BA.1 Omicron wave.”
Massive!
“Overnight, maps glowing in red or magenta colors were transformed into pale green and yellow regardless of the rates of infections.”
How dare they “downgrade” the colours! We want our “volcanic eruption” colours back!
“The ending of the fraudulent “community level” tracking, so that COVID infections which are no longer being tracked in any meaningful manner, apparently means nothing to the public health agency. Only when a person contracts COVID-19 and develops severe disease and requires treatment as an in-patient admission to a hospital, only then is data collected at specific participating health systems and reported to the CDC, which in turn will update their anemic and circuitous webpage without any real guidance on what such data means for the public’s safety.”
Now there’s a radical idea: Only when, you know, people are actually sick will they be treated! Fancy that!
There’s more …. but I’ll stop there.
They can’t backpedal now George, so they’re in for the long haul.
Must be exhausting, searching for dramas and stories devoid of credence.
The WSWS have been indulging in a kind of tightrope walk in which, as a clear spook operation, they exist to further the power of the very parasite class they claim to oppose but at the same time they must appear as opposition. In the case of covid, they were given free reign to “go large” since the pandemic was marketed as a “Left wing thing”. But re: other issues they’ve had to tread more carefully. Which is why the following was an eye opener:
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/04/29/ymrh-a29.html
And so our “progressives” have been as willing to swallow the quack science around transgenderism as the similar voodoo around covid.
As for the “the first openly transgender lawmaker in state history… Zooey Zephyr”, we receive not a jot of info as to who “she” really is – or, at least, not from the WSWS and not from the “responsible” media. You have to dig deeper:
https://montanatalks.com/who-is-zooey-zephyr-who-do-we-have-zero-background/
“Zephyr was born Zachary Raasch in Billings, MT and grew up there and in Washington State where he was a champion high school wrestler. The media has been so negligent in their vetting of Zephyr that as far as I am aware this is the first time his birth name has been publicly revealed in an article. “Zooey Zephyr,” currently in the state and national headlines, did not even exist until 2019, when, after several months of taking female hormones, Raasch publicly transitioned. He had surgical vaginoplasty in 2022 ….”
I suppose it’s at least something that this (ex)guy did at least go for the chop. But making a personal decision to revive the honoured tradition of the castrati doesn’t excuse this:
“…..transgender-identified Montana State House Member “Zooey Zephyr,” … has exploded to national prominence after accusing members of the Montana State House GOP supermajority, who passed legislation to block genital mutilation and cross-sex hormonal treatment of children, of “having blood on their hands””
If you attempt to block genital mutilation (of kids, no less!) then you have “blood on your hands”!
These are the bedfellows of the “Leftist” WSWS.
If they were fair dinkum (that’s honest for non Australians) they would dump their middle class Socialist masks and become Anarchists (Rules WITHOUT Rulers).
Transgenderism, in my view, is more about the plague of narcissism than anything else. Narcissism has always been around of course, but Social Media and the Celebrity Cult have made it fashionable, and addictive.
Im absolute one of your fans: “from anonymous sources”, “The present flu surveillance network coverage”, “our little global village”, “we are all in the same shit together”.
Love it.
Faux libertarians in faux outrage:
https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/04/30/the-delusions-of-andrew-bridgen/
Amid all the anti-semitism and anti-democratic froth is an interesting accusation that Bridgen is anti-humanism. The rotter! Criticising “science” is of course a serious crime because it goes against the unfolding technocracy. As Huxley makes clear in ‘Brave New World’, their “science” isn’t science at all.
The pay-off is a threat against on-line freedom of expression although in veiled terms.
P.S. None of this is necessarily to endorse Bridgen who may or may not be genuine – everyone can make up their own minds about that.
The Spiked piece has the tell-tale intro:
“It can be tempting to ignore the anti-vax conspiracy theorists – the people who believe the Covid vaccines are killing hundreds of thousands and injuring millions, and that it’s all being covered up by the powers-that-be. After all, these beliefs are mainly confined to a small but vocal fringe. But now that this tendency counts a British MP among its ranks, we cannot afford to let it slide. It is simply too irrational to shrug off – it needs to be challenged head on.”
This is the kind of intro that already embodies the whole substance of the article. Once you’ve read that – indeed even from the most cursory glance – you already know where it’s going to go. In fact, it’s already been there. It’s a “debate” that already contains its conclusion in the initial proposition. Indeed, there are even two expressions that sum it up: “conspiracism” and “conspiratorial thinking”.
But the very bedrock of rationality is contained in these expressions – because all they say is the patently reasonable and indeed obvious proposal that those with power make plans in private to maintain and extend their power. And it is equally reasonable and obvious that those who speak for the powerful will deny this.
Taking the piss now:

They’ve been preparing for a long time and they never sleep:
https://winteroak.org.uk/2022/04/15/charles-empire-the-royal-reset-riddle/
Our environmentally minded and community conscious monarch has been conscientiously working for that fabled “better world” and his “Princes’ Charities” (presumably to be shortly renamed in accordance with Charlie’s “promotion”) set up “Business in the Community” as far back as ’82. BITC was created to further “responsible business”. This in accordance with 2015’s “The Sustainable Development Goals” – a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future”.
After outlining the
New Reichenvironmentally friendly project, there is this curious comment:“The Prince’s Trust Group expands this same agenda across the Commonwealth, the vast sphere of influence formerly known as the British Empire.”
But only a cynic would assume that the old empire machine is being given a green makeover.
But the picture darkens as we hear about “impact”. A simple little word but now being rebranded by connection with “investment”. “Impact investment” apparently,
“refers to investments “made into companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to generate a measurable, beneficial social or environmental impact alongside a financial return”. At its core, impact investing is about an alignment of an investor’s beliefs and values with the allocation of capital to address social and/or environmental issues.”
Yes the green makeover is now in full swing as the stench of decaying rodents becomes overwhelming. (And while we’re here, note the echo between “impact” and “shock and awe”.)
And at the risk of incurring the wrath of mcgeo, I note also how a particular “Left” site has been trumpeting the virtues of Extinction Rebellion whose underlying Lovecraftian essence is outlined here:
https://winteroak.org.uk/2019/04/23/rebellion-extinction-a-capitalist-scam-to-hijack-our-resistance/
Note the constant repetition of the word “impact” there.
It’s fascinating to think about how the parasite class has clearly been musing on the 60s counter culture touchy-feely back-to-nature vibe (or did they create that themselves? Sobering stuff!) And so, all is now presented in this young rebel “anti-capitalist” (?!) generation format.
But all of that is merely the current form of the bullshit. You will notice that, once this form had been set, it then recurred everywhere and at all times. Like the protagonist of those creepy Ring movies, they never sleep.
Clarke and Doyle are always good value.
I meant Dawe but it seems we can’t edit our comments 🙁
You can edit, but you’ve gotta persist on that bloody ‘edit’ button.
“possessing material likely to incite violence or hatred against persons on account of their protected characteristics”
I hope you don’t have a copy of the Bible as there is lots of content in that book that it could be judged as likely to incite violence or hatred against persons on account of their protected characteristics. Particularly the Old testament. The story of Sodom and Gomorrah for example.
> You’re like a scorpion, my brother, you live in cowardly darkness like a scorpion.
Shallow BS.
“but most of the fault, my dear brother, is yours.” Its too easy to blame the rest.
I prefer the Universal Soldier https://youtu.be/zYEsFQ_gt7c .
Hooray – our opportunity to pledge allegiance to our new king. A king who inherited the throne, who nobody got to vote for, who didn’t pay any inheritance taxes or death duties on his mother’s vast estate and who is a big supporter of the WEF. A WEF which seeks one world government which would remove our nation’s independence.
Maybe, just maybe, Charlie Farley should actually be loyal to this Country first.
No, he should just GTF.
Regarding #2 we’ve been getting conditioned to this for years. Usually spray cans of paint but also easily concealable things like pocket knives and some tools are behind locked glass cabinets which have to be unlocked by store staff. We’ve come a long way from sane times. I remember as a kid the local produce store had sticks of gelignite on open display in wax wrappers in a wooden crate. People were saner then and could be trusted to be morally responsible. Nowadays the world has gone nuts and some anorexic twerp dolled up as an Audrey Hepburn clone is flogging weak beer as the latest money making flop to show the rest of us how insanity has taken over the corporate world.
Those clowns wanting to market fake beer are scam artists.
The clowns buying and drinking that shite and then getting upset because some fella in dress and make up is in an advert for it are total mugs, complete and utter dupes and buffoons and will fall for anything. When it all blows over they’ll switch back to poisoning themselves with that particular brand of chemical shit marketed as a beverage having had a brief interlude of using a different brand of mind killer, more than likely owned by the same company who makes the brand they are “boycotting” and getting irate about the next thing the TV tells them to get irate about and doing precisely nothing to actually improve their own minds, bodies and lives.
Most beers today are nothing more than chemical piss. You can’t beat the real ale though.
Sobriety wins hands down for me.
Thanks for including the video from Clarke and Dawe. These two were absolutely brilliant – on a par with our cartoonist Michael Leunig. I’d like the latter to be crowned king of australia.
Nah, Kings don’t have enough authority. Make Michael the MESSIAH. Obey, or be sent to the UStates of War.
His kingship might get a pardon from me if he recommends OffG’s general coverage of events and its respect for its readers’ intelligence.
Since that isn’t going to happen, I reckon I’ll be spared having to give him any attention at all.
“True” Allegiance, man, not just regular Allegiance. It’s like got to come from your heart, kind of like getting married or taking out a car loan. To a dude with ugly hands and a big nose, who some say is a complete asshole. But he wears a crown, man. He IS KING! That seems different than what they want us to do over here in the United States of Imperialism, which is pledge allegiance to a flag. Of course, maybe pledging allegiance to a piece of cloth is even weirder, although it certainly isn’t as disgusting. Then again, as Trump, a dude with tiny hands and a big stomach, said recently at a pizza shop, “anyone want a piece that I’ve eaten?” shows his rightly knows his cult would do even more than pledge allegiance if he decreed as such.
Interesting times we’re in, like halfway between insanity and sanity. Round and round we go, where we stop, nobody knows.
Straight Jacket.
They’re all greedy billionaires anyway. We get the one who happens to get dressed in ermine and wears a crown.
I’m really looking forward to paying homage to Charlie Windsor.
Is down-voting a form of “micro-aggression” ?
Does it make one a sadist because one loves down-voting ?
It makes one a silly bugger.
I’m thinking of those who ‘love down-voting’, of course.
Can’t recall ever downvoting anyone les. Let em stew in their own ignorance. If they’re on this site they can’t be too dense.
Does that make me a wimp?
I only bother with upvotes when someone says something witty or profound.
Does that make me a snob?
Is giving a dislikable person The Cold Shoulder, or giving ’em The Silent Treatment, forms of ‘micro-aggression’ ?
Is ‘micro-aggression’ simply Dr Freud’s ‘anal aggression’ with a new paint job ?
Declaring new forms of micro-agression (social or political impropriety) is another means of herding the sheep.
Down voters are all liberal socialists, all of them. They always reveal themselves :-D.
The do-gooders, always wiser-guys on everybody’s else opinions :-D.
LOL
you asked for it.
“All Roads Lead to Rome.” And on them travel all the taxes and booty and plunder from the far provinces…
While all eyes are distracted by the WHO’s “Plandemic Treaty” China’s Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) is quietly being implemented…The BRI will give China efficient access to the mineral etc wealth in all near and distant lands…
Roman Roads were dual purpose – for trade, and for expediting military forces to put down revolts in delinquent ‘hotspots’…
Like the USA, China is a Corporation made up of smaller ‘non-government’ corporations…
The USA has 100s of military bases around the globe ready for use to put down resistance to it’s plundering corporations, to ensure the local comprador class stays in line…
How soon to expect local wars currently being carried out to “Protect Americas
CorporateNational Interests” will we be hearing such wars are instigated to “Protect China’sCorporateNational Interests” ? There are many intelligent people who want to believe “Overall, the BRI is a positive good !” – even many in the alt-globalisation movement…Good points les.
Further proof perhaps that evolution, in the spiritual sense at least, has come to a grinding halt.
BRI is far more than access for China. It is access for all of Eurasia – the bulk of all people and trade – and irrelevance for a certain hegemon.
I hope Germany snaps out of its trance before it is too late.
Irrelevance for one hegemon, ascendance of another?
Here’s another claim that China has undergone massive depopulation. If true, then this was the real reason China had so many lockdowns:
https://henrymakow.com/2023/04/have-400-million-chinese.html
So, 5G is more lethal than we’ve learned ? Nothing about the role of air pollution in all the alleged deaths ?
No reports of numerous houses etc suddenly becoming available ? No reports of many deaths in the Army causing a headache ? No reports of measures to prevent Chinese from still migrating overseas in droves ?
There is no air pollution, another environmentalist hoax done on a flat screen.
The giga city Sao Paulo has 22 mio people, its more eco friendly to grow vegetables there than on the rural side. The beaches there are clean as a baby butt in real life.
How? Because they clean up every day as you do in your house.
This figure 400 mio comes from Falun Gong. Falun Gong is a NGO created by CIA/MI6 for infiltration and thus a 100% secure card for fake news.
Does anyone know precisely what format should be followed and what posture should be adopted when swearing allegiance to H.M. Charlie 3?
For example, should one just stand to attention whilst tugging one’s forelock vigorously?
Or should one get down on one knee, or both knees, BLM fashion?
Or should one prostrate oneself, Moslem prayer fashion?
Will we all be issued with Union Jacks to wave energetically (presumably saltires in Scotland, or Star of Davids for the Jewish community, and Rasta flags for West Indians?)
I think we need to know these things.
If something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing properly.
I’d strongly advise staying a million miles away from the whole farce.
I nevertheless claim my free Union Jack.
When it gets out of ‘pending’…
Just make sure you have a sick bag at the ready.
God save the queen remix.
So I put this on last article w/no response (yet)…… gonna re-post, sorry if it’s a foh paw
Yess, we must stay in touch, but first we must Get in touch in Person to combat the ever increasing pressure we all feel to say “f*ck it, nothing we can do”. Form local groups.
I am in between Baltimore and DC.
We need to agree on some basic goals, a vision for our planet’s future like for instance: 1. Eliminate the 2 party system (in the US) both R&D’s are owned by the same entity and made up of 99% corrupt, easily proven criminals. Outlaw them both and imprison leaders with a little waterboarding thrown in for good measure.
2. End the Fed 3. Dismantle the corporate media.
4. Overhaul the court system with all new uncompromised judges.
But that is impossible pipe dream hopey-ism you say? Where would one start. They got us in an intractable catch-22, you can’t do one first without having done the other 3. We start by STARTING.
Create Local Groups. Get out in the street. Make our Goals/Vision known to the masses. Grow. An online presence will help off course.
Stay peaceful, relentless and filled with Love. I am a humble special educator/musician about to turn 60. My summer is free and I plan to use it becoming an activist. Who is with me. We owe our future more than apathy and resignation.
Consider the Solaris Spirit when you form your local group.
Thank you Andre, I will look into it
Apathy may be our most potent weapon.
Just completely ignore the whole tawdry, degrading spectacle.
Break into hysterical laughter whenever you set eyes on them and the whole lot will disappear in a puff of smoke.
Derision and ridicule are powerful antidotes.
Is this your handiwork Cooper?
Mmm_ _ _
Try convincing George Mc.
he did not say that
Yes; that’s how irony highlights this modern revision of the art of war.
😂
In parts of London I lived in, off licences and vending kiosks were like Fort Knox.
Not altogether surprising, because they used to get robbed at least once a week.
In the off licences, there was like a central area of the shop floor you could walk in. All the stock along the walls was secured behind iron bars and strong iron grilles from floor to ceiling. You had to point at what you wanted behind the grilles.
The vending kiosks selling things like bars of chocolates and crisps were like armoured pill boxes. The kiosk operator was invisible behind an armoured screen. Somebody would go up to the screen and say what they wanted, and put the money under a small hole in the screen. A disembodied hand like something out of The Addams Family would warily snatch the money and push out the required bar of chocolate.
it’s been like this in parts of warsaw for decades
If he was wearing his mask they wouldn’t be able to ID him.
A can of spray paint or a hammer might be quicker.
slowly slowly catch the donkey
What’s the US thing with hard hats and helmets and those bloody dayglo vests. Safety glasses missing ..screwdriver at work.
Worlds nuts just look at that image of a Man I don’t care what he’s doing …Look at what they have done to The Male.
It’s pathetic.
Safety is sensible, but some of it is overkill.
You can blame the lawyers for that.
Where’s Captain Gatso when you need him?
Research has revealed that quite intelligent people fell for the ‘covid’ psyop’and got vaxxed.
The vaxxed are considered sheep, but isnt intelligent sheep a contradiction ?
And if the intelligent rushed to get vaxxed does that mean the hesitants and refuseniks are not as intelligent as they think they are ? Questions ! Questions !
Simply put: If you are intelligent you’re most likely vaxxed. Are you vaxxed ?
Curiosity is a salient feature of intelligence.
Lack thereof is probably THE most defining characteristic of a dumb person.
There is intelligence and there is WISDOM.
There is knowledge and there is UNDERSTANDING.
There is smart and there is AWARE.
It is better NOT to get sucked-into the polarizing slanging-matches … because this only intensifies the embarrassment of falling for the ‘con’. Many of my formerly close friends, family and associates have been ‘injected’ and probably felt that they were doing the ‘right thing’ at the time. Do remember that the propaganda-machine was absolutely relentless and the governmental-coercion and downright bullying operated at a criminally insane level. So, it is time to stop the head-shaking at the monumental gullibility of those we considered to be near-and-dear, or collegiate. The bureaucratic-bombast was carefully designed to fracture relationships, and for the most-part, it worked. Forgiveness, and understanding is going to be out virtue. Collectively, we cannot afford to be fractured more than has already happened. It appears quite apparent, internationally, that most governments have bought-out or have been co-opted by those who want to, and have planned to enslave us. You/me/we have to do everything we can to remove the wool from the eyes of those who have been temporarily blinded. We are many, and they are few …
Cheers!
Enjoy your day …
Well stated hotrod.
an apology and admission that yes i was wrong would be nice regardless
I think it’s more like the intelligent you’re referring to aren’t as intelligent as you think they are, or your purported research sources.
That’s a very good observation. Its also true that ‘intelligent’ people like doctors and teachers were among the first disciples of national socialism in Germany and Communism in Russia. Maybe a more correct description if the Covidians would be ‘institutionalised’. After all their common denominator is a belief in the ruling institutions that would govern them. While we don’t trust our governments or big corporation, they do. Maybe they are just more trusting? But that would make us untrusting which I don’t think any of us would like to think we were.
Their ‘trust’ is essential if they wish to earn a living from the state.
you can be intelligent without wisdom and or intuition,, a kind of intelligent order follower/idiot
Wrong basic. The personal evaluation of your life conditions decide whether you jump on the wagon. My guess is there are a huge variation of explanations.
If your life is screwed up in dependency of job, family, society, “networking”, this may decide your choice because the price of not being social for you is too high.
People who demand independency as priority in their personal life are willing to pay the social and economic price of not taking the jab.
The only thing is people should take upon their own shoulders their personal choice.
You are adult, you made a choice, you took the risk, you sold yourself to maintain your family or for a trip to Malibu, or your job wasnt worth the risk. Now stop crying for nanny.
Then we are able to respect each other.
The organic apples I pick often have a bit of woodlouse shitin them and it’s never done me any harm. Don’t tell me they’re not insects please, they certainly look like them.
I don’t know why people are so wigged out about eating insects when they gladly eat tails, snails, snouts and lips. 🤔
And prawn cocktail crisps.
Its ethically standardized and You just asked, take it as a complex discussion.
whoa there ya go again covertly trying to slip over bits of the GR agenda. “Paul” is doing it too. So many shills!
What is the gr agenda? And what’s it got to do with shells?
It seems the front’s falling off the covid scam
The lesson of covid: every media channel is unified in its basic function which is to facilitate the wishes of the rulers. And that’s it. And all the public faces, whether they belong to politicians, editors, journalists, TV presenters, entertainers, singers, whatever – they are all there to serve the rulers too. Oh yes, they have “freedom to express themselves” however if they don’t do what is expected of them then they’ll be relegated to a media wasteland of undesirable “fringe nuts” and they’ll have to beg for pennies down at the market stalls where the police will forever be moving them along.
So no surprise at all that the Irish MPs down voted the free speech amendment. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there were some interesting chats behind the scenes there. Something like this:
“Well of course you are a bit concerned about this ma boy but …ah now is not the time to make waves. We must show solidarity and so forth … oh what’s that? You still won’t vote our way?” (a little nod and wink to the “butler”) “Mike, see this gentleman off the premises. He’s not feeling too well. Indeed we may have to confine him in a rest home for a while for his own good of course…”
Yep the Irish government really are up the arse of their globalist masters. Maybe after financial rewards.
Interestingly although hardly surprising World Corporations Ireland isn’t segregated north/south and remains a firm USA ally.
With regards to the oath, the Bible actually forbids swearing any oaths at all. When someone swears on the Bible they are swearing on a book, the text of which forbids their doing it. So, a case of ceremony triumphing over substance:
The refusal of Christians to swear a public oath to the Roman Emperor in the first 300 years or so of Christendom (until the Edict of Milan, 313 AD, with Constantine I) was one of the primary causes of martyrdom.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edict_of_Milan
So we may have come full circle in the last 2000 years. Nero used non-conforming Christians as torches to light his garden at night. Diocletian wasn’t much better. Hopefully not an indicator of things to come with Charles III
That said, I’d advise sticking with just a beer
Caligula and Nero have been denigrated for two millennia because of their altercation with the banksters of the time. A bit like the Kennedy’s for Joe sr ‘s “crime” of opposing WW2. Cursed are the peacemongers.
If you keep looking, you will find many more contradictions.
Good one, and nice choice.
Swear your unconditional loyalty to Price Charles and the Usury City of London, or get burned or eaten alive by hungry lions if you dare to say just one single word about God.
Your choice!
Word games wait till the er- ban definition “fairy liquid” butterflies get hold of it., the dope middleman class err..classed downers of course have hard liquor militarized and ebilically popularised as bluescreen ‘bottle water’.
Crazy world imo. 🎥
First item was about an Irish Thought Crime bill.
Seems to be a trend, note the very recent Florida Thought Crime bill.
One would think that ‘kicking the can down’ to another generation is not a responsible way to go. *Improving* relations between disparate groups is the way to proceed forward, and not by intimidation, censorship, acting in secret, hiding of crimes and silencing free speech with hostile acts.
Of course, that is assuming people actually *want* improved relations. There *are* those that actually benefit from things like defamation. Can you think of any?
Define ‘defamation‘. If you state an unwelcome fact about someone (or about a group of people), is that defamation? I would say no. But what about where the state gets to decide what is a historical fact and what isn’t?
Ireland: The Sovereign Independent

The Bill Gates ‘Depopulation Through Forced Vaccination’ Headline, Explained
This well-trodden conspiracy theory continues to circulate on social media.
Published Jul 6, 2021
In June 2011, an Irish tabloid known for publishing conspiratorial content called “The Sovereign Independent” published an article about Bill Gates that carried the misleading headline “Depopulation Through Forced Vaccination: The Zero Carbon Solution!”
An image of this newspaper article resurfaced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 along with a variety of false claims. Social media users claimed, for example, that this newspaper was proof that the pandemic had been “planned.” Others claimed that this article had been “scrubbed” from the internet — a false claim to make this article appear extra nefarious — and that the pandemic was somehow connected to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Was this sarcasm or comedy or what?
You did use Snopes as a source, after all.
—
caveat. I used to visit that site too, many, many years ago.
I assume the readers of this site have the awareness to apply a simple inversion filter to everything published at places like Snopes. It’s not an infallible rule, since sometimes their intent is to promote controlled opposition, but it works most of the time.
Highlights of TWITNN were that poem and the link to the tiktok arm chip video. I can see a whole generation of influencers having a place in advertising their transhuman augmentations. What a time to be alive. What a time to choose to continue being human instead of becoming transhuman. Cheers OffG.
Clarke and Dawe, The Front Fell Off, is timeless.
The “Homage of the People” to King Chav III is not timeless, and nor will it age well.
Stone of Destiny, and Babylonian mysteries must be abandoned if the monarchy is to modernise.
The media’s silence on these issues is telling. Brit Irony and shoulder shrug doesn’t cut it.
You can’t modernize fossilized crap.
I could stand listening to a couple of old Goon Shows with him over a glass of something nice, but swearing allegiance to a biological specimen devoid of any genuine spiritual content is not on my lifelong agenda.
Bring back Spitting Image. They’d have a field day with these clowns.
Do you like hanging out listening to vintage radio with pedophiles and childkillers?
Reminds me of the priests in the late 1950s, getting so desperate to keep young people within their grasp that they started all those Youth Clubs with guitar music instead of the usual church organ…
It’s basically the equivalent of, “God is going to have to ‘get with it’, if He wants to keep up with the times.”
The deal is entirely on our terms, because we are so arrogant.
Even theoretically, what sort of god could take part in such a pantomime?
None, of course, unless it simply ceased to be a god.
In any case, the monarchy, despite all its trappings, never was ‘a god’.
Today, it is also obsolete and in tatters, apart from its tourist value.
And nothing can fix that.
By now, the whole farce could never be ‘modernized’ without a repeat performance of the Charles I thing, and not even that really fixed anything back in the day, did it?
Stick a pitch fork in it. It’s done.
and yet millions will celebrate and thousands will cheer the procession
Neither is Charlie himself timeless.
In fact his day is pretty much done.
I expect I’ll outlive him, and I won’t even ask for any homage…
So, a corona – tion. Interesting word.
The first bit of the allegiance gives the game away, “I swear that I will pay”. This means that you will pay, not his kinglyness.
Then there’s this “according to law”. Which law- maritime, canon, admiralty, natural law or new laws formulated by the world economic forum, to be signed off by charlie, making their world government legal and enforceable.
Wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t see the latter come about soon.
Also, I wonder why the occult elites chose the day after the lunar eclipse? You’d think they would have this knees-up the day before. Charlie has terrible transits to his natal chart on the 6th, so he may not be king for long.
